Malaysia international fireworks competetion (MIFC 2008)

Ok it was on the 20th of August and it was another show for MIFC and it’s was team Canada's turn. Well although this week was super busy week for me because I remembered that I had 3 midterms crammed in the week:

1. HRM midterm (100 mcqs)

2. Mock job interview for managerial communication (20 marks)

3. Critical thinking midterm...

It was like me getting run over by a bullet train the fireworks was on Wednesday night didn’t care much about the exams and the rest, because for a photographer a missed shot is like #$%!* especially if it’s a good one I will whine n whine and whine…


Well on to the fireworks then. Was really anticipating shooting fireworks for the 1st time so prepared my camera then left cyberia around 7.45 reached Putrajaya central around 8 and board the free shutter bus to the Putrajaya International Convention Center (PICC). The bus did not stop us near the convention center but actually stopped at Dataran Gemilang and it was so damn far for the Dataran to the convention center. I measured with Google earth and it was an staggering 1.1KM walk. Arriving at the Dataran around 8.30PM me and my friend was aiming to get the best spot in the convention center so we alternately transformed into a rocket knowing we had to make up the lost time so we sped to the convention center as fast as possible. At last we reach there after searching for a good spot to setup our camera we finally cou

ld have a rest, by the time both of us were soaking in sweat. But the effort was worth it because the view was ‘perfecto’ sweet spot was discovered by the both of us.



While waiting for the show to start at 10pm, I was thinking all fireworks have bright and sparking colours, therefore all fireworks must be bright and colourfull.


Ok enough of the story let’s move on with some pictures!






p/s the pictures were watermarked by myself because I don’t want some guy later copy paste it in their blog / site n say “hey this was my picture for PICC”


And by the way I can say my pictures are far better than the official photographer of MIFC click here to look at his shots! Compare mine and his and give me a comment okay :p!


Implementation from BCT syllabus:

1. it was like me getting run over by a bullet train

· This is a Metaphor. I used this to express how stressful it was because it was really a busy and difficult. Metaphor is used to create a comparative image in a person’s mind, without using comparative qualifiers.

2. so we alternately transformed into a rocket knowing we had to make up the lost time so we sped to the convention center as fast as possible

· This is a simile, it was used to describe how desperate we were in reaching in time and find a good spot for the show. Similes are used to compare the expressions of both of us with some other ideas that create an image.

3. “all fireworks have bright and sparking colours, therefore all fireworks must be bright and colourful

· This is an Inductive Generalization because my statement is drawing towards a generalization, as a likely conclusion from other observations. Inductive Generalization falls under the Inductive Reasoning.
